In  accordance with DTR 5.6.1 of the  FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules we
would like to notify the market of the following:

IQE plc has issued 55,625 additional Ordinary Shares with voting rights since 3
August 2011.

The total number of Ordinary Shares in issue as at 31 August 2011 is
525,046,100. All of these Ordinary Shares carry voting rights of one vote per
Ordinary Share. There are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury and so the total
number of voting rights in the Company is currently 525,046,100.

The  above  figures  may  be  used  by  shareholders  as the denominator for the
calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial
Service Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

The Ordinary Shares referred to above are the ordinary shares of 1 pence each in
the Company.
